Treatment for Marijuana Addictions

First up let's get one thing sorted out; marijuana addiction has no one shot treatment. There is no pot patch and there is no way to wean yourself off slowly. Treatment for marijuana addictions starts and ends in your own mind not with chemicals, substitutes or cure all pills.

Marijuana has no chemical within it like nicotine in cigarettes that give the user a physical painful craving for the substance that draws them back. Pot is a different beast as your cravings come from a psychological desire for the drug, a mental want for a smoke usually in response to a trigger in your life that makes you want to escape from reality and achieve that state of being that marijuana takes you to. This is not only physically unhealthy but is a kind of rot in your soul that drains you of your will to achieve. More scientifically smoking excessive amounts of marijuana has been shown to impact on memory significantly weakening your mind and your ability to solve complex problems.

So what can you do about this problem you have you are wondering? The solution as well as the problem is in your own mind, you must find the root cause of your addiction and you must eliminate it from your life or come to terms with it. Most drug use is an escape from something, boredom, pain, anxiety, fear and many more problems that drive people to seek solace in something. Some choose alcohol, some choose sex, some choose work even but increasingly people choose pot and misunderstand the addiction once it takes root.

Treatment for marijuana addictions are up to you and an understanding of your own inner demons at the very basic level. From there are many helpful things you can do to help against cravings but without a base understanding you may fall back into the habit.
